Regular: "ShE dOeSn'T kNoW mY oRdEr OmG" (self.starbucksbaristas)

Regulars are great. But don't be a dick and belittle someone when a barista doesn't know your fucking order. Get off your high horse Karen.
I usually am a mid-shift but am being moved to mornings. I typically work DTR during morning peak but yesterday I happened to be put on front.
So this lady comes in and I pleasantly ask what she'd like today. She literally scoffs and laughs at me and says "You must be new, is today your first day?"
I'm like "Nope, I've been here a while, I just typically work a later shift so we've not had a chance to meet yet."
She literally laughs and points to me, making eye contact with another barista and says "Hahaha she doesn't know my order, can you give it to her and have her write it down so she can remember it?"
She comes over and keys it in for me since I'm not worthy enough to hear the words uttered from Karen herself.
It was a fucking 10 pump chai.

I hate that! I had someone come in and say "Everytime you see me, just type in venti white mocha with skim milk and no whip." ....
I said "I work part time so I probably won't remember that, sorry in advance".
Now, everytime I see him, I always ask what he wants.

People like that are frustrating. Like, get off your high horse Karen do you realize we take 100s of orders a day?
I love my nice regulars, and I’ll make mental note to remember what drinks are their favorite, but people like that I’ll just bury in my memory with everyone else and not care to remember

If we have regulars I have no idea who they are. I only know people by the sticker that pops out of the mobile order machine. We have a venti doubleshot girl who comes in three times a day. We know exactly who she is, though I've never seen her face because she always comes through drive to pick up.

there’s this one regular at my store and he always orders a grande extra hot no water no foam almond milk chai tea latte and BERATED ME as a new bean till i got it in my head. now that we have new hires, he looks towards all of us, like he did with me, and exclaims “can you believe she doesn’t know my order yet!” i told him last time that it’s not that hard to tell her his order himself since she’s still new but smh man.

I would probably not care if I remembered his order and pretend I didn't. Let him make a scene. The only one looking like an ass is him.

This is way I like the teachers who ask, "how do you remember my name AND order?!" Like I do black magic cause the can barely remember their students names.

I just tell people I have both memory and hearing issues, so it's easier to just tell me their order each time clearly and slowly. They tend to get frustrated with me.
